1. TI vould like the attached papers to call to your attention

Sentation to the Arerican publia of conditions behind the Iron Curtain

by tho Heritage Foundation in the fiture,

2. Dr. Tyeon sharoa our doubta atout the ¥ree University tn
He agrees that the two principles upon which the University was

founded 1

A. ‘that there were suffiotent qualified Iron Curtain
escapees to juatify institutionalizing their educution; and

B. that by creating such an inatitation for escapees an
soprit de corps ia oreated, together with a determination
on the ;art of tho escapoes to serve their honelands at

sone future date

‘ have not been proved. ;

3. All of the svidence to prove the validity of these prinotples

is oertainly not in, Tho evidence at hand raises serious doubts, and is
4a follovas

Ae Of the current 208 students of the Frea University, 37
aré Yugoclavs, ani 12 wera born in Western Euro; oan countries.
(The high total ratlo — almost 25% of the student body -- of
Xugoslav students, which is not a target country, together with
tho non-eatellite born studenta indicates an inubtlity to recruit
tho kinde of students the University wae intended to train.) it
should also be noted thet from the information available to us Lt
iu not poseitle to determine what proportion of thoss listed ag
born in target countries actually left thea tefore Sovict domina-
tion. T have the impression, which is subetantiated by the recruit~
ing miasiona of Mr, Royal Tyler throughout Europa and even Turkey,
that suitalle candidates ara already extremely difficult to find.
It should be noted also that of the 64 outalde scholarships given
to exiles in various Europaan Universities, 16 are for Yugoslava,

B. Wo have had -vertous reports which indicate that the
morale of a mmbor of students at Strastourg 1s not good. These
morale problems arisa from a varloty of reasons, among which ares

(1) They are not entirely certain why <hey are there
and just what the Amerioan sponsors intend for thea;

(2) They fear that efter they finish their education
they will be without jobs;

(3) There has boen a steady and systematic campaign
carried on by French Comnuntst studenta at the University
of Strasbourg to demoralize and a@lsorgunize the FEUE atudent
body, In addition, several studenta are suspected of being
espionage agents,

4. Dr. Tyson te leaving for Europe on the 21st of January to make
a thorough investigation and evaluation of tho Free University in order to
ansver these qucstione, We aro aiding him by having the offictals of the
President's Escapee Program make available a completa inventory of escapees
who might be potential candidates for the University.

5. Dr. Tyoon vas not the instigator of the proposals for a gymnasiua
for the Froo University. Tho proposala were made and pushed by Royal Tyler
and Spencer Phenix. The handling of this matter as far as Tyler waa concerned
ves another example of hia difficulties in dealing with Phenix for, as finan~
elal officer of NCPZ, and having no position in the separate corporution,

Dear Archie:

I much enjoyed our chance for a balk, and Bill Durkee,
who assists me in the subject we discussed, is tremendously
enthusiastic, as T am, about the pessibility that you will
consider favorably the appointment Frank mentioned.

Let me stata again what seems to me most important in
the facts uncer discussion. The Job is of national and
world-wide importance. It can help achieve greatness, I%
Can endanger us all. It requires a man of imarination amt
ideas but aiso a man of dean anZ thouxhtful responsibility

to discharge it well,
T should like you to consider that I am at your service
at any time to give you any facts you would like to have ar

any opinions for that matter, All of us here consider that
we would be greatly privileged to be able to help you if you

undartook tha job,

to iim orally that the work of backstopping NCFE is being carried

can be useful to the various Divisions of the Agency.

2. As he is aware, NCFE conducts an enormous amount of

MEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

SUBJECT: University of the Saar

1, The University of the Saar was created on 8 March 197.
It has four facilities -~ two in Saarbrucken (Letters and Law)
and tuo in Hombourg (Medicine and Sclence). Faculty members are
French, German, Swiss, British and Saarois,

2. A number of "institutes" exist with undefined relations
to the University though financed, as ia the rest of the University,
by the French Government, and include a special institute for
interpratera, an institute for economic science, and a European
Institute. The support of the French Government of thia University,
aside from its merits, is part of the French attempt to Europeanize
the Saar.

3. The European Instituta, devoted to European unity, is a
recent creation and is largely the result of the promotions of
former Deputy, Andre Philip, It was the European Institute to
which thé Herald Tribune article specifically refers,

4. The University participated extensively, especially the
European Institute, in the European Youth Campaign. Some of the
specific activities were ag follows;

March 1952: The Campaign cooperated with the International
Institute of the University of Sarrebruc' in arranging a
meeting of young professors in the Saar and another meeting
of youth leaders, both to discuss European problems. Films
were supplied by the Campaign for both these meetings,

By the end of April, 25 youth organizations (practically all)
in the Saar were associated with the Campaign, During April,
May, and June an extensive program of discussion groups was
arranged in the secondary schools throughout the Saar. These
groups were sponsored jointly by the Campaign and the youth
groups of the Saar. The groups discussed all phases of the
unity question but concentrated particularly on the Schunan


14-0000

Plan due to the economic position of the Saar in this
matter. Films and publications of the Campaign vere used
in the discussions. 7000 students participated,. ~~

During June 1952, in cooperation with the Campaign, students
and professors of the International Institute formad a
‘coumttes along with youth leaders to discuss the particular
problems of the Saar in a United Europe, - .

On March 27, 1952 the Campaign held a large study group in
cooperation with the European Institute of the University

of the Saar. Students attended from Aix, Hambourg, Oxford,
Tubingen, Leyden, Nancy, Berlin and Paris, Lecturers were

provided by the Campaign.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR (PLANS)

SUBJECT s Call by Spencer Phenix on NCI”

1. Spencer Phenix will call upon the DNCI Friday for tha
purpose of taking up with him certain questions among which are

the following:

a. A gymnaginn for the Strasbourg University. The history
of the gymnasium requant is aa follows:

On 8 August 1952, at a meting of the PRC, NCFE
proposed capital expenditures of $377,500 for tha
Free University in Extle. Trice amount was placed in
a reserve fund along with other requested budret Ltemg,
It was agreed that funds held in this reserve could be
released to NCFE by the BDO/F in conjunction with the
DD/A if in their Judgment the submission of further

data Justified such expenditures.
On 17 September 1952, Spencer Phenix, for NCFE,

made a request for $47,000 to be released from the CIA-i
held reserve for the construction of a gymnaslun at the

Free University.

This request was rejected by the DD/P, He said he
would reconsider the request if further data supported

it.
On 8 October 1952, Mr, Phenix made another request

supplying further data. This time the request was
reduced to $43,500. This request was also rejected by

the DD/P.

Ry memorandum of 5 December 195 Mr. Phenix refers
tb the fact that the trustees have given formal approval
to the establishment of a pymnasium and thit his under-
standing of the reserve fund is that when the Board of
Directors of NCFE ask for the money, they recoive it at
once. He says that there appears to be some mi.sunder-

standing of this procedure, pointing out that the locus
of misunderstanding "{s in and around Frank Wis office."

b, The Turkish Prondcasting Station, Mr. Phenix Intends

thustasm for the project

informed by us that while there is reat en
and while the State Department has set January 15th as the date by
whieh VOA mist aither secure ayzreement from the Turkich Government
or withdraw itself from consideration, tha basic policy question of
_@ a whether RVE then moves in has not been definitively settlud.

Mr. Phenix would like to know definitely now whether, contingent
x \ upon the ftallure of the Voice to gain entry to Turkey, NCFE can

| proceed with the building of a Turkish station, hic item, which

j wilt probably be in the neighborhood of five mililon dollars, was
“y \. ; Presented at the PRC meeting, at which time it was agreed it would
jbe considered as a separate project at a later date. :

“A

prior consultation with and approval of top authority of NCFE and
cIA.

d. Barbara Rowen. Mr. Phenix is concerned about a little
xirl who works in the Munich office, who through some mischance of
several years standing is still on the roles of this Ayency and draws
retirement pay, although her saiary is paid by NCFE. Phenix regards
this as a penetration though in fact Miss Bowen is a valued employee
of NCFE and has no contact with anyone from cla. We are trying to
regularize the situstion by affording her the opportunLty of resign-
ing from the Agency or resigning from NCFE. 2 §

e. Second Installation for Strasbourg University. The
trustees of the free University in Exile have voted to creato a
German-speaking free university in exile, prodadly to ba located in
the Saar. Phenix reports in his memorandum of December 5th that the

granted permission, the Agercy will supply the funds. So formal

request has been made and t’ 22 project of course has. nos been

£. Nanos of penaloned od Army and Navy Officers. In compliance
with DD/P Notice No. 2% ag ¢ue2 on 27 October, we have asked Mr. Phenix
to furnish the names of peihoned Army and Navy officers »mployed by
NCFE. Mr. Phenix is concerned about the degal ramifications of this
step, statins bin fear that woat this order implles fse aim is that
cote the monies he dispenées at Treasurer are government fro. Hie hag
been assured py un that tae >. erp 798 of tho Avency-wide resuest is to

l. At the last Project Roview Committee meeting on NCFE, you
asked that tho State Department be consulted on policy in rospect
to Natdonal Councils. A roview by State has begun. Moantime,
however, for your information and in ordor to enable you to anawor
quastions which may be raised by Messro. Dolbsare or Niller, IT want
to explain to you how the to Divielon is | presantly handling” extle

affairs,

2. The dhefleulty in this matter arises largely from the .
fact that three organizations are doing the job. Stato has appar~
ently found it nacessary to deal directly with exiles. CIA area
divisions, EE and SE, also doal directly with exiles for arma’
purposes. NCFE hands out the money and tries to keap them togothor
in National Councils. Out of this triplo play a large degree of
bad feeling and inistrust has arison between CiA and State on the
one hand and NCFE on the other. State, including Wally Barbour,
and the arva divisions of CIA-accuse NCFE of playing personal petty
favorites and of not keeping us informed. On the other hand, -coop=
eration of State and CIA witi, NCFE in giving positive continuing
guidance in their efforts has not besn forthcominge In the past
no coordinated attempt has bean made to give NocE highslevol
overwall policy dtrection. Rolaticns hava been per sonal, casual, -
uncoordinated, and sometimes confusinge

3. Wa have taken the following action to try to insure
orderly efforts to fuse or coordinate the various oxile activities

conducted by .the three organtzationss

ae Tris division has asked the cencerned araa divisions
to initiate plans for reorganization and unification of
each national council. ‘The resultant paper is then ©
coomtinated with the proper authoritias in Stato and a final

line is agreed upon.

b. This plan in then comaunicated to NCFE and the
organisation is asked tor comments, ‘eriticisms and —
suggestionss .

ce After such are nade or agreed upon, the paper
becomes the policy. directive which charts NCFE's course of
actions . “ .

14-0000

de NCFE then informs thle divieien of progresa baling
made and supposadly rejueste authority to depart from such
completed policy papergs

To date two such policy directives havo boen writtene
The first:was a plan for the reorganization of the Kumantan
National Council. It.was submitted to NCrF, and toelr
oriticioms and sugzostions nave been incorporated. the
plan is now being oxecuted, “ .

The second was a similar State Lopartaent-CIA paper on
the reorganization of tho bulgarian National Com trees
This will be subnitted to Nore on Thursday, 10 July, and a
ainilar course of action will be followede ,

be I realize that this will seam to yo as a eonsenat simple
and obvious way of insuring coordination, but the fact da tiat it
had never bean done before. I hope that Lt results inaz faw flaps
ag possible and as few occasions when people are running off in all. .

diroctions.

“Se A current case where people are running off in all
directions 1a the Folish situation. Thds broke at tha very time
wo were beginning work on a coordinated ClAj@StateelCFE paner. NCFE
has been operating upon the azsimption that {f a Polish Hational,

to unify two of the three main zroups by rolding conversations

and counter-chargas flying about at precent on this situation. The
man abroad is saying he had informeu NCFE of wrat he intended to day
and people in NCFE say he hadn't. W: are tryin to Btralvnvan it

to Form a Unified Runanian Refugee Organiaation,
dated 12 September 1952 : .

: l. The NCFE nesotiations for a untted Rusacian refuceo orzanization

‘ appear to be culminating successfully. Althouzh a muber of differences
have been resolved, a few controversial matters remain. These points
have been discussed several timea, both wth the !CIE ard the refurces,
but are of such imertance as to warrant special attention and exprasis
at this momente :

' 2. The sost urgent problem, the one mest likely to nullify tha-

| recent efforts and cause further difficulties, is that of Gencral Fedescue

Phe problem ia to Sind a position which the General will consider suffie :

 eLently important for him and which we will consider sufficiently innccuoss

> to engure that he cannot interfere with the Comittee. f najority cf tie.

: refuees are in accord on the necessity for tlacing Limitations of active
ity on the General. For operational reasons, we require such liaitationse -

- The existing good relations between the NCHi and the General should be

_ utdlisad to persuade the General that a passive, honorary position 1s the

, only way to guard his health for, by implication, later action. Fe must

: be made to realise t:at he is not ueing shelved but is being savece If

‘he cannot be prevailed on to adypt this attitude, he will have to bo told

. ' with complete frankness that his obstructicniam cannot ce tolerated, that
: he will have'to re-ain passive outside, rather than within, the new orfan-

: deation or riak losing the agsisiance he now receivese The first netnod

' 4s the more desivable, and it is sucrested that the General's secretary,

: Barbu Niculescu, te invorred of the KCrE's intention and warned of the

: latter step if his cooperation is ‘not obtained in expediting the General's
accentance of a rassive role. Hiculescu sneule be dealt with quite frankly .
end informed of tre consequences, to him as well as to the Ceneral, if he

‘MEMORANDUH FOR: Chief, P & F
SUBJECT s Talk with Mr. Robart Lang

1, I gpent an hour and oa quarter in Now York on Friday,
1, November, with Hr. Robert Lang of Radio Free Europe. Tho major
portion of thig time waa devoted to a bricfiny by Lang of the NCFE
structure and the position which RFE occuplop in it, including the
philopophy of RFI. operations. Lang gave an Lapressive performance
and atruck ma on such short acquaintanco as an individual of ability,
Jjudgmant, and energy

2. Mr. Lang nade quite a point of the fact that hia opuration
inside NCFE to virtually independent. Ho intiauted that he recuives
no guidance from the President or other officore and has exponded
considerable effort,in the past sesing to 1t that an iron curtain ia |
kopt between RFE and the top command of HCFKE. Ho said that if RFE
had not developed and expanded according to a philosophy which it
itself had orivinated, it would have got nownure and vould still be
frustrated by whet he kept referring to aa thn "old State Department
line" ag exemplified by the views of De'itt loole, Fred Dolbeare,
and others, Ho then pointed out that-ho had received virtually no
guidance, policy or otherwise, from thiy orvanization. Also he
claimed to suffer from lack of contact with us, iio stated that when
ho saw Mr. Dulles ao week or 60 ago, it was the first timo he had .
talked to enyone in authority bere in many a moon. As far ag
Br. fraden and cowpany are concerned, he said that they dealt largely
with Adniral ‘tlller and his immedtate staff. It was clear that ho
would prefer to deal directly with bashingtoa, he also feolg in-
hibited by the fact that be has to cajolo Admral tiller into per=
misaion to como to Washinton. io cited as evidence an incident ree
cently wien he folt obliged to ask a friend in the State Pepartuont to
intercede with Adairal Miller to Perait nh hin to como down hore for
consultation.

3. There vaa nothing hitter or frustrated in ir. Lang! re-
marks, Father he struck me ‘as an individual who was ‘discussing the

facta of life, be Mist they may.

This was tho sane basis et. was finally approved for the firet periad
of eix monthe which 16 atiaut to expire.

2, In discussing this matter with Colonel Edwards I_ refreshed
hie recollection as to certain features of tho original arrangement, -
including the fact that Stowe is an 6x, remaly capable individual
who has attracted other good people, notably Russell Hill, into the
effort, and who has no gerious security rapo against him. (248 is
not regarded as a loyalty or eccurity risk but rather as a gqurce.
of pogsible embarrassment in view of certain earlier writinys of his.)
Admiral Miller informed se and I pessed on to Colonel Edwardes the
fact that there have teen no questions:or flurries of any zind
concerning Stowe and the further fact that he has been coirg a very:
effective. job. Colonel Zcwards approved from a security standpoint

PEMORANDUH FOR: DEPUTY SLPECIOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

SUBJECT: Conversation with Kr. Jan Nowak

Ll. At your request, I ac a conversation today wilh Hr. dan
Nowak, head of the Folish radio desk of KFE in Kunich. I am sorry
that you did not get to sec hin. Our conversation reminded me that ”
ow work is terribly important, wiiieh is a nice reminder on a busy
aSternoon.

2. I say “important” because Nowak reviexed with me the Letters
he nad received from listenars in Poland and tnese, together with nis
own enormous enthusiasm for the work he is doing, reminded me that our
long days in Washington have an effect on the lives and hopes of people
far away. Nowak, wno was in the’ Polish resistance during the war and
wo on one of his three escapes from Poland at one time spent several
weeks in Switzerland where he had made contact with your representatives,
later worked for the 35C and he pointed out that at no tine during the
war was he given to feel by the BSC the sense of responsi. bility and
mission which he feels in his job in RFE. He said he was told wien
he was brought to RFE that the responsibility for the programs was his
and that if at any time programs went on the air which wor2 irresponsible,
then he would lose his job. ‘le says that wnen he has questions which
hea thinks might influences téed States policy, he confers beforehand
with Griffith and the Asericans in Munich, and sometimes arznments ensue,
but he feels, and I am certain he feels sincerely, that ho has an equal
share with Americans in a grect effort to carry the truth back hame..

3. T say Mtorribly" important becatse Nowak, like othar exiles,

rs out loud how long our work can continue to have an imwact. He

aself convinced that every Polish soldier is a potenvial ally of

wost but ne wonders, and makes his listener wonder, how longs we ean

oxrect this sympathy among a rising generation for which the past is
nexorably fading. po

x
G

s

h. Nowak made one point wrien I an sure he intended for your
ears, that ne was afraid that "certain peovle in Geran; " wno had
contacts into Poland might lead ais friends benind the Curtain to


1400000

betray themselves unnecessarily and trapicaiiy. He said that he had
heard that th people had promoted behind t Curtain a whispering
campaipn among the Poles at the time of the recent elections to the
effect that the elections wera to be postoonse?. He seemed to think
this an unnecessary rick for tise who took part in it. fe also said
that he had been approzened by thesa same peszle who asked him to urge
the Poles by broadcast to cross out the nasez sf the Communist candi-
dates when they voted. He learned only later, ne said, that the system
of voting at the last election was suen that in order to cross out
candidates it was necetsary to step out of tac valiot box and co it in
the open before witnesses. He had in any event refused such suggestions.
I got the impression taut na feels somo of our people are a little
immature. : :

MEMORANDUM FOR! Chief, International Orjanisations fivision

SUBJECT? pp/P'a Kenorandum to you 30 October 1952 entitlod,
uo : *National Comittee for Freo Lurope, RFL, and Rolated
Mottere” .

1. You will be interested to know, I an sure, that lr. Wisner's frieng,
Mr. Geomescu, has recently been most helpfel. ‘Throvgh his efforts and the
cooperation of Jim Pekich of SE Europoan Division, I believe that ROPE 1s on
the threshold of a unified Rumanian National Council. ; : .

2. I'm in ontire agreement also with Mr. Qeorrascu's observation on
the personnel set-up within NCFE. As you know, Bre Dolbeara is concerned
about his role. He ia the firet to admit that his strength is ebbing, ond
that he should retire. I think it mist be arreed also that Mr. Lolbeare has’
dona a splendid job, a job that would have beon, and will atill be, difficult.

for a man in the prime of life.

I have discuaned this problem in confidence with Francis Be Stevense
Aa a result of my inqirtes about a possible successor to Mr.. Dolbearo, Hre
Stevens sugfests that Hr. Nathaniol Penistone Pavia 49 a person erdrently
qualified to do this job. I would bo intorcsted 4n knowing whether Fre

Wiener knows this man.

3. I believe alao, Hrs Georgescu's misgivings about Mr. Yarrow aro voll=
founded. In the last two months, Hr. Yarrow has teken an increasingly preme
inent position in Mr. Dolbeare's Division, a5 a result of Mr. Lolbcare's
physical inability to do a fell time job. Irs Yarrow is blunt, and inclined
to be dictatorial. He has & predilection for direct action in situations
that rightly call for finesse ond caroful development, For thasc reasons,

{n addition to the fact thet he ie of Russian extraction and. speake with a
heavy accent, I on convinced that he should not replace Mr. Polbearee In
ry opinion, under the right leadership, Mr.- Yarrow could continue te make a
valustle contribution to HCYE's dealings with emigres as an administrators

I believe that such a solution is politically possible, for NCFE
4n this phase of its activities is going through a period of groping and
painful reorientation. I hope that the start ve have made in working out &
re-statement and a. reedirection of activities within liviaion of Emigre Ree
lations will provide a program of positive projects which will supply amsuni-.
tion for psycholorical warfare, both behind the Iron Curtain and in the Free
World. Such a procram will call for.an efficient adminiatrotor versed in
exile affairs -- a position for which Mr. Yarrow is well qualified. -Under
the political leadership of a person of Kr. vavis' caliber, for direct dealings
with, exnigres, I feel that the ivision of Enigre Relations will be able to
clear up prescnt inefficiencies and contribute effectively to NCFE's over-all

missicns

atatfs. ‘ihe reaucens why tha broadcasts aro not real by Anorioans
before they go on the air are aa fal Lows: .

a Because the natural inclination of Avoricans ig to-
ehange tho troadcasts, and such changes, 2FE officials feel,
are likely te lessen the “gonulne" quality of arile broad
easts for the iiateners.

d. Boemce the exiles fool thasselves to bo patriota
working for their comtries, and the submission of scripts
to Ancricann before they are broadcast would be regarded by
the oxtles as casting doubt upon thelr sllegtance and fervor.

tha American staff bolievos that it can exercioo policy control by
augrestions during program discus:dona rather than hy saking dolo-
tlona and corrections in the sertyty thaasolves.

2. During my trip to curope in June, 1 asked Hr. We B. Griffitn,

broadcasts were mada from that date until april 1951, it sauld be -
noted that this was the very beriming of RFS wren all of ite broad-

\

1. The attached memorandum, preatly modified in form by the
General Counsel of NCFE, is to be presented tomorrow afternoon at
an open hearing of the President's Comittee which is conducting
hearinys on tho McCarran Bill.

2, I was informed of this proposed presentation on Friday
afternoon, October 17, I obtained the attached from Mr. Greenlea,

_.NCFE General Counsel, today. NCFE does not know that Mre Greenlea

has been in touch with us and should not know,

3. I suprest that you review, with Mr, Wisner, whether NCFF.
should make such a presentation. In eanence, the prezentation is
an attack on the McCarran Bill. I sugreet that, perhans, NCFE
should not testify for two reasons:

ae This is close to a clear example of a tax exempt

charitable orranization, attempting to influence
legislation and;

b. The political implicationg are liable to be an
embarrassment for CIA. .

4. Apparently, NCFE is making this precentation in the hopes
of receiving wide publicity so they will ke in a position to say to
the enizrees with whom they deal, "look what we are trying to do for

you."

5. I urge your rapid concern, for the presentation is due to be

2. It is the purpose of this memoraoncum to suggest a proceture for
the most offoctive use of tha NCrs intelligence potential. The moat
practical approach see to be ae follows:

a. At this tine it does not apjear necessary to sstablish a
continuous flow of ruw an! finished intulligence from the Hcrs
to the UD/P offices, Rather, we would liks to uso NCFZ facilities.
whenever individual cases indicate that such action ia advisable.

b. We would like to maintain a direct relationship with the
NCPs Yor the purpose of onlisting ita support in the work on our
individual cases. When the nature of the case indicates that the
NCPS can maxe a valuable contribution to it, we could maxe arrango=
ments through the @hief of I0/TONIC, to make direct contact with
one of the security-cleared NCP3 officers. A permanorntlydesignated
OLS case officer (A. Snatton and/or Ii. Knoepfmacher) would then
procead to New York to discuss the substantive ressarch probloms
in the NCFs and reach an agruwsent on the scope of NCFé. support.

3. It ie recognised that the final authority on all contacts with

that thia.scemed to us an unnocessary exponse and one which I would
find difficult to defend with the Director in light of our present

1. in view of the considerable length-of tino ance LCEF ‘onened
neyotiationa tor Kumactan refu;eo unity and subsequent. developments, a
reappraisal of tie oltuation and a delineation of final ection are required.

@. It is evident that expression of NCKE interest in the Council of.
Folitical iarties (actually 4% hay been direeted rriaarily toward tho
Natdonal Foasant Farty) taa had the cestred affect on the two refuree groups
in tho United States, by raising the specter of-a third foree developing
and being reco:nised by tha Amcricans. It hag also made the Kiln: ovare. of
tho oericusness with wiieh the Americana Fevard the division between tho
two rroups. Further, it has incited the Iron “uard to adopt a "dezocratic”
facade in the hope, pertaa, of Fitting uventually inte tho resulting
organization. However, in apite of the success of tho mancuver, further
encovraresent of the CoP and the HF} canld well prove danverous to our
overall objective of unifyin;, the Tofncees, by addins fuel to their differ=

encase

3e Caroful consideration haa becn given to the various worthwille
proposala and counter pronosals witch were advanced in the conrsa of the
recent discussions, It is hoped,.in tits cennection, that the CSE hag
made it entirely clear to sll the particivants tat thia series of dia-
cussions was undertaken pureiy to explore the posalbilities for arcrecaent
an concert with the refugces thesvelves, and thet after hearins all sides

' of the question, the NCFE will present for their consideration a "packare"

proposal, on the basia of which finel asree:ent should be reachas. It da
believed that the revision of the ordinal plan, set fort: below and
embodying certain features wiich have developed in the course of the last
threo montns, can provide a solution acceptable both to this orranization
and to the refugees. Cperaticnal considerations, the desirability; of
maintaining a reasonable degree of control, the necessity: for taking inte
account the refu-ee concept of demceratic procecures, ag well ag the fim
stand on size ty-en by the Rumanian National Camiittee, these are all
important factors affecting the problei. The final organization should
be gall enouk to control, sufficiently selective to attract prominent
exiles, inclusive onoush to contain the rank and file, and of an optduaua
aise to carry ovt ite functions effectively. .

like to preface this account tith the observation that Admiral Miller
seems to ba in a hifnly emotionnl state and renerally suspicious. of
those around him.

(1) Larry deteufville |

Admiral Uiller reported his mectings with Larry deNeuiville
in Paris and indicated a difference in his projectod use of Larry
deNeufville and that onvisagod by deNeufville, which Admiral Miller
presumed representod CI\'a interesta. Miller proposes to use
deNeoufville as one of 4 three man brsin trust, one of whon is Louis
Gallantier and the other is still unnamed. fia mentioned that he. had

originally considered-delieufville as an aida in adainistrative matters
but had been informed that deNoufville was not oquinpped for such duties.

(2) Yor

Admiral Miller indicated thet RFE was having difficulties with
VOA, especially with the new Information Intelligence Unit created by
the State Department, under the direction of Denald Shea, to provide
information for VOA's broadcasta to the Iron Curtain countries. These
difficulties included the preventing of RFE's information people from
interviewing oscapses.

(3) Information Service — Leland Stowe

Admiral Miller indicated that he was more than satisfied with
Laland Stowete activities, and that with the exception of RF2 corres=
pondents in Londen and Paris, they were satisfied with present personnel.
He also stated that Russell Hill had becoze RFE correspondent in Germany,
He further indicated thet he will xake every effort to kecp Leland Stowe

MEMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR uF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECTs NCFE=CIA RELATIONS
1. Whon this Division was delogated the responsibility of

conducting CIA relatione with NCPE it was, immediately apparent that
a variety of problems existed which mada effective action on tha

part of IO Division difficult if not impossible. ; These difficulties

may be genoral ly summarized as follows:

(1) Satisfactory mechanical procedures to provide

. _ information to CIA and to insure effective

cooperation and coordination of activities by ,
CIA and NCFE did not exist. This was true not
only in financial matters,such as the orderly
submission of budgets and financial reporting,

a8 well as security, but was also true of attexpts
to give NCFE policy guidance and to insure that
NCFE's activities did not compromise CIA
operational activities,

(2) The attitude of the responsible officials of NCFE
was one largely of non-cooperation in terms of NCFE
and CIA efforts being joint to achieve the same
objective, Indeed NCFE's attitude was that they are
@ sefarate organization with the responsibilities
of a corporation’ in the State of New York ant that
the role of CIA's representatives in dealing with

_ them was one of being their salesmen rather than

GQ) NCFi has not only failed to provide information
about its activities, but had generally expanded
its Felations with governnent agencies in an :
effort ‘to play one agency ‘against another and,
indeed, in many cases play the personnel of one
: agency ‘against other personnel in that agency. A
general feoling of suspicion and distrust provaded
(ClAts relationships with NCFE.
LO 2. In a® attempt to properly discharged its responsibilities
10 Division has attempted to solve the above problems by (3) preparing
an agreement or directive which xtmtea seats out the Joint responsibilities
of CIA and NCFE and €§) which olourly states NCFE"s duties. and responsibilitts
to this Agency. To implement this agreement IO Division has, or is in the
process of, creating orderly procedures by which this agreement will be put
into effect. ;
; 3. If 10 Division is to suceed in its task, which in our opinion
ie well begun, two conditions are incourcepintien essential:

(1) That there be a single point of liaison between NCFE .
and CIA and that CIA act as the sole official governmental
liaison ‘with RCFE, It should be said that this does not
mean that officials ‘of NCFE will not consult with higher
authorities in Cla, but that when they do, those
responsible in 10 Division will be fully informed.

* (2) That NCFE clearly underetands with whom they are to deal in
Oo 7 CIA and that those with how “they deal on a regular basis

are responsible officials entitled to respect as such

MPORANDUS FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTPLLIORN

PROBLEM

It is likely that at a maoting you will hold Monday, $ August,
with menbers of the Board of Directors of the National Coruittee for

‘a Froo Europe, these Directors will maintain they do not wish to olgn

or to accent a direotive and/or agreement as to relations betweon
NCFE and CIA, which haa beerl approved by the CLA acministrative otaff
and the International Organisations Division of CLA.

DI SCISSION

At the timo responsibility for GA doalings with NCSE was trans-
ferrod to the IO Division, a survey was undertaken by this vision
with the help of the CIA acninistrative staff under Hr. HKolf. Tho
following was found to bo the status of relations betesen CLA and
NCFEs

1. Budget and Financtal Relations.

a. No orderly subs ssion of budgetary roquirements an the
part of NCFE has ever beon established or practiced. For exanple,
the CIA approved budget for tho fiscal yoar 1842 was substantially
different than the budget upon which NCFE based its activities.
Bad cummrndiscation has axtsted.

b. CIA has not exercised any form of control over NC¥E
expenditures after initial approval. for exanpie, NCYE hap been
free to switch funds allocated for one project to suc new
project or to pay for extending an old one without forther
reforence to CLA. | . :

0. Montes raised by NCFE through the Grsade Sor Sreedon
_ or monies advanced by CLA and unspent at the ead of the Msoal
, year have not deen considered in the granting of funds yor a
new fiscal year. - : ae

y

aes

14.90000

d. When budgets have been presented by NCFF, they have
not boon presentod with reaconablo tioroughness or accuracy
nor havo they inileated expencitures witch am rrasonaily
certain and those widch are projections of possible activities

for whdeh NCFE has nevertheless asked for. funds. : r

e. In cortain {nstances, Leas grants to certain national
councila, NGFE makes expenditures for wileh thore io no alequate
accounting te Neve and on witch thea Comittee has had little
or no infomatlon on how the ronsy 1s spent.

(2. Financial Reporting.

ae Itds wnquestioned that tho internal buriness and:
accounting procedums of HC: arn excellent. Howuver, adequa ta
financial information has not been presentad to CIA. -

» Secu curity.

As the rocont case of Leland Stow: indicates, KCFE haa
disregarded essential gecurity considerations in tha hiring of
perconnel. Noitier the Socurity Offi.cor, CIA, nor eny other
branch or component of CLA, nas aytiuing but oxtranely inada-
quate information as to who ia on tie NCKE payroll.

ce. Polley Control.

In its relations with emifroa throuwh ite National
Counciis Division and in itu radio broadcasts through RFE,
HCFE has Ln many cases not received adsquate guidance from CLA
end the State Department and in some instances not {slLowed
tho guidance provided. CIA 1s eoldom informed by NCFE of Lts
proposed activities other than in its overall budge tary

presentation.
d. QGoorntination of CIA activitios with NCFR.

NCFE's activities in radio broadcasting, which account
for throc-quarters of its yearly budget, ore almost entiroly
transforred overseas, Tho action of its 100 or mora overscas —
personnol often cut acrosea Clits ow fleld operations. NCFE
has not accepted coordination in this Meld.

3. 19 Division and Acrinistrative Staff Proposed Actions to

Solve These Cirricuities.

The IO Division with the assistance of the CLA Adnuinistrative

Staff has prepared a me:sorandum of agreement to sarve aga a guide in

A. Tno Eatent of lerita Concern to Date 3:

In the past CPE hus net direct concerned itself with
the over-all problem of refugees trem behind the Iron curtuin,
This policy of WCrs hus minifested itself in the following ways.
CFS hese consistently wadg it clenr thet its cntef interest lies
in whut it regarded as the politieal and intellectu-1 elite of
eaigrationa from the vurlous Iren Curtsin -countrics. Certain
elements of this politdcul ani -intellectu.l olite, nosevar,
resitved the necessity and the importunce of channelin: sone
of their uctivities towerd th- sass of their respective emicra-
tions on .: gations] basis. This re:lization was dictated either
by numenditerisn or strictly re_listic politiesd principles, or
oy a combination of the two, Accordinsly, these elements of the

elite epproscned ACFE with their proposuln for NCr2 materinl ond

mor.il eupport ef such .ctivities. Tene proposuls differed widely
and were inpleezented at veryins perio’: over tee lust three

In-the umanten ecuse, NCFE'a support for refugee uctivities
was originully ch-nneled tiurough the Kumanian dutionaZ Counell,

Rumanlan ielfure, Incorpor::ited, an Organis..tion entirely outside

In the Ceechoslovak cage, CFE hig chinneled its support gor
refugee uctivities through the Council of Pree Chechoslovikia, a
Naticnzl Council, which wus the victin of n political oplit
lasting from January 1951 until July 44 1952. The Council of
Free Czechoslovakiu, in turn, chiunneled some of this support to
an Orgentiz«tion which enjoys tie status of voluniury oveney, the
Americ.n Pund for tzechoslovuk KeZugeea. This orgunia::tion, .

, lJixe Rumsinian delfure, ine., includes Anerie:ns on ita Board of
Directors, which ta chulred by Professor Janes Shotwell. Unlike
Rumanian welfure, however, the .fCh in Germany and Austria receivad
from IkG or HIV@G and UZcC4 fseLlivies und/or financial Buvport
as did other larger org inivutions such as the HCwWG, the Lutheran
World Pederation, the sorld Council of Churches, the Americun
Joint Uilatribution Vomnittoe, ete. which simred with it the statua
of voluntary @gency. There in ao voubt that Czechoslovak rafusees
have been, to some extent, the victima of the politic:l fluctua-

Study of Worldng Relations between NCFE and CIA by

SUBJECT:
Lom IO and as/s

=
1. Following upon ita assumption of responsibility for tha NE
project, IO, aided by the AS/S, has umlortaken over the past two months
an investigation into tho NCFE/CIA rolations. It hat soneluded | these
relations have detorioratod to a danrorous extent anit Agency has lost
control of tho NOFE aetivity to a degree it can no longer ignore.
2 In general, tho fundamental defect in thes relationshir is that
‘the NCPR has refused to recoymize tho legitimate duties and responsibilities |
of CIA for tho policies ’ financial administration, and security aspects
of tho HCFE, and the latter hap persisted in regarcing itself as virtually
autonomous. Tho seccadary woakness in the situation has been tho inadequacy

and confusion of the procedures which were developed to maintain control

over ard taanation of NCFE's activities.
3. As cxamples of the consequences to which these weaknesses have

led, the following are cited: (here should be discussed illustrations of

specific problems such as those in your para. a.)

kh, The remedy which is being developed az 2 consequence of this
investigation is the re-definition of the recponsibilities of CZA and
authorities of NCFE and the development of new procedures for the conduct
of relations between ECPE and CIA. Thes se definitions. and proced: tres have
teen reduced to a Kemorandun of, Agreenent which has been prepare by CIA

MFMORANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTKLLIGENCE -

SUBJECT; Crusade for Freedom

1, Admiral Miller will call upon the PDCI soon to request
more funds for. the Crusade for Freedom, At the prosent rate of
expenditure, funds will run out on 31 December, . .

2, $158,991 was budgeted for the Crusade this year, We
have told Admiral Miller that since the Crusado was unable to
live within this budget, wo were certain that the Agency would

appropriate pore money to wind it up, although we have explained

that his request was embarrassing because the PRC had expressly.
approved $456,991 instead of a larger amount in tho boliof that
less money. should be expanded this year. We have aaked Admiral
Miller to provide us with a financial statement of the Crusade

cost to date as well as a breakdown of the further amount needed. -

é . .
3. The Crusade this year has so far cost only a quarter of
last. year's expenditure and half of the amount exponded in 1950,
Recoipts are up, 10% over last year at this date. On the whole,
a much better job has teen done to date than w antlelpated «+
and purely in terms of the amount raised the performance has

been superior,

lh. There is a good deal of gossip about the use of Crusade
funds and I. think you should be acquainted with it. Because the
Crusade is a rather public enterprise, the gossip has occastonally
been sounded not only within NCFE and this Agency but also among
"seml-witting" private citizens who have been enlisted for short-
term fund-raising on an unpaid basis. The gossip is that a good
deal. of money has found its way into the private hands of local
Crusade chairmen and workers, -In one instance, it ig said,
involving a local chairman in Minnesota, the amount which reached
private hands was enough to build a new home, Another story I have
heard repeated by different people on different occasions is that
in the state of Nevada and ‘certain other locales no money received
by fund-raising chairmen last year was ever turned in to Head=
quarters, and no report ever made. Another item which some

PUPPET a ng
~~ Ste - Posse

14.90000

of the people in the New York office talk about is the payment of
$37,500 to Fred C. Smith, who worked for approximately one month
in drawing up a Dimes for Freedom campaign which, as you recall,

was rejected as a basis for this year's campaign,

5. No accounting of Crusade funda oxpenmied in the field has
ever been made, and in a fund-raising campaign it is perhaps
imposaible to do so. Nevertheless, records involving payments
for expensa money to private citizens onyazed. for the duration of
the campaign are chaotic. You will recall that Spencer Phenix,
Treasurer of NCTE, refuses to have anything to do with expenditures

for the Crusads.

, 6, Since.we are winding up the Crusade this year and will
attempt to-place it ‘on a more reliable basis through the Heritage
Foundation, I sugzest that you assure Admiral Miller that funds

' sufficient to wind up the Crusade will be forthcoming and that: you

instruct the 19 Division’to expedite a project granting these -
funds. I further suggest that in view of the allagations above,
which I repeat for your private background information, you keep the
position of tha Agency faultless by requesting from Admiral Miller

a budget in as smch detail as possible tor the amount necessary to
‘liquidate the Crusada.

tho concept of nancial control contunplated.in the budyot section of the

Agroomant, ‘wo noted that the Agcncy must have confidence that the prograas
of the vaitous TONIC divisiono are carricd out to tho appro:dmato oxtent
proposed in the Arency approved budet since other Arency plans must be
synchronized harmoniously with TONTC!s approved prograa. Accordingly, the
principle of establiching an expenditure coiling for oach of the TOUIC
divisions is recerded by the Arency as fi tal with which intor-division .
tranofers without Agency approved, would be inconpatl ble. Wo assured the
Prosicent it pocitivoly vas not the intent of the Agency to lift managerial
reoponsibility from TONTC's own hands, and that the controls contemplated
by the Apreement aro almad not at ctifling manarcrial activity but rather
to tho attainnent of the. minim checks which tho Asency fools it must -
insist upon in view of the scope and importance of the TOKTC proyram in”
the. fulficinent of the Agency's own responeLbiiities and mission. -

6 Tho President emrosced hic appreciation of the Agency's viawpoint -
in the mattor of financial control although he did not expressly comalt _
TONIC to its adoption, He did, however, promiso to undertake a point by

areas of doubt or disagreement may be. localized and  dlepooed of in: further

SUBIECT: Request for Decision as to whether Crusade for
Frecdom Campaign Boginning 15 November tay use
a Dropping of Leaflets Themes in its Propaganda.

tes 1. Admiral Miller of NCFE has appointed a new head for Crusade
vo : for Freedom, Mr. Richard Walsh, formerly of tho State Department. Mr.
" Walsh has subultted ‘anew plan for.tho Crusade for Freedon campaign to
begin November 15. - Tha campaign: Will be based upon the idea of send~
‘dng Christmas ‘Ressage- leaflete behind the iron curtain with publicity
that the “Crusade for Freedom will use balloons among other methods for
this :purpose. . It was originally contemplated that the Crusade would
‘dn fact send balloona-as it did last year. Bearing ‘in mind, howovor,

the DCf's warning about using any propaganda device which might give
the Soriet a weapon in ite bactoriological warfare canpaign, we have

instructed ‘the Crusade that. there wh be no actual transaiseion of
‘balloons. . .

. 2s Will -it bo permissible for the Crusade to publicize the use
ef balloons, to employ such stunts as dropping the Christmas leaflets
out of balloons over packed football stadiums in the United States
and to give the general impression that balloons wili ba one of tho
“ways to carry messages from the American people behind the iron curtain,
‘even though they will in fact not be employed?

3. You will appreciates that an immediate decision is essential.

REFERENCE: Paris 0615 (IN 37959) dated 23. Movember 1953

1. The reference telegpran from Parts containg a recommendation
that NCFE dé what it can to -prevaj] upon Gafencu to conv back to the
United States and Cigage himself in certain activities wich may be’
of sone use and value to NCFE, The following information was obtained
yesterday fran vr, Tyler who is fawiliar with the background of tie
reforence messava, .

concerned about the activities and behavior of Gafcneu in Europe, and
more eSpecially in and amund Paris, and although he does nct Lelteve
that a major issue needs to bas made of this matter, he is firmly of —
the opinion that Cafencu ts not doing anything useful for the HCE

2. Mr. Tyler stated ‘that Mr. John iurhee has become sonewhat

“in Lurope and that the net effect of his activities is somewhat to

the disadvantaze of the interests of the United States. Carencu is
bulleved to be mainteining a rather close association with Cuy de la
Tournelle (sp?) and his wife, who are described as-"very sour auplea
and bitter opponents of LDC," Safencu is also rnported to have teen
involving himself with certain businessmen in Franca in a series of
questionable o11 promotion schemes, He is also reported to have been
engazed in organizing. a kind of information center in ealgre circles
and to be selling this information to Agence France Presse, Moreover, .
Gafencu has been selling himself and "throwing hia weight around" on
the basis of reprecentaticns ard strong intimations tiat he is a close
and intimate friend of Mr, allen Dulles. [iis utterances in this re~
card are regarded by Mr. Hurhes as highly indiscreet, the more so
since he appears to te living and entertaining on a scale suffictently
lavish to Suggest that he is being vrovided with Substantial funds --
well above the allowance granted to him by NCFE,

3e Mr. Hughes,as. well as the Paris Station, fully appreciates
that NCPC is not in a position to force the return of Gafencu to the
United States. At the sane tine, he believes that NCFE should do ,

all that it can to, got him out of Paris and he recomuends that a , strong

and that this dnavitation be: coupled with a st&tament to the effect that
in view of budyatary considerations and the very mare Inol value of >

Gafencu's activities in Europa, it will not be pos

Since dictating this memorandua, | nave received a report from
@ well-informed Rumanian source to the effect that Cafenew has
roturned to the United States within the past few days for the
purpose of remaining here indefinitely. (The fact of Gafencu's
return to the US has been positively established, and it is |
possible that within the next day or so confirmation will ba’
obtained concerning his lenger-ranse Suture intentions.) ‘ky
Rumanian informant has told me that the real reason for ‘Gafencu's
retum was an urgent request rr falaxa, who feels that he re-
quires Gafencu's present in the United States to assist him ,
(Malaxa) in government cireles, etc. My Runanian sourca: is
prejudiced against Malaxa, but has maintained contact with
Cafencu notwithstanding: this, and is convinced that Cafercu

.is still on Halaxa's pay roll and subject to Nalaxa's denands

for this reason,

The rrocedure from rox an sears to lay itss!f ont as follows:

whatever you, Clyde and Jobb want them to do on behaly of the Crusade.
After their work for tne Crusade ig aver, ali seven Joubtless will
wish to remiin in tha Unt ved States, ba will all thea fointly try -

Jamaing of weotern broadcasts to Rusoia began eporntieclag” |e

also against BBC... patellito Language program jomming began ‘firat
fron Rugeton stations and thon ‘trom Jamming stations located in the
, Satellites proper. ‘hen RFE trananisaions began in 1950, the
organisation and equipment: vere available for the new target. -
At the present tine, the organisation for jamming « inoluding
the trenomitters, tho monitoring otationa to watch for the undeatred
programs, and the control network to -direat the jammera to the: target .
fo apperently integrated throughout the Bloo, with a certain amount ,
. of cooperation between countries. That 18, prograne directed to one
Satellite country may be jammed not only from within the country but
fron Rusoia and from neighboring Satellites.
At least some of. the jamars are closely controlled 60 that
efforts to evade them by changes in frequency or schedules are frequently
“met by & prompt reaction on the part of the Jammer -- within a minute
or leas. .
fhe extent of integration of the total Bloo Jamming system makes
4t very asert cult.to - geperste the effort contributed within ‘the Satcliitaa.
Hovever, it is presently estinated that; about 900 tranonittera are in
the Jauming effort within the Bloo, and these eppear to be fairly vel)
Atetributed throughout the total of the frequencies that are being used
at any given tins. Therefore, at times vhen RYE io broadcasting to
the Satellite countries with ) considerable number, of freqisncies, there

are undoubtedly. hundreds of .transnitters jamming these frequencies.

le Oa 2 September, representatives of RFE and. VCA nat with
Apbassador Joseph Flack and solicited his comments on reported
unrest in Foland, and tho utility of KFE and VoA Polish broadcastss

2. with reference to intemal distarbancea and partisan -
activities, Flack atated that there hava Seen Fabsolutaly aone®  —

‘the Juie upFisings in Eaat Germany were proved to have been without

foundaticn ag a result of relatively unrestricted survey action .
then taken by numerous representatives of (, Se, British and French
diplonatieé Rissions in:Poland. He axpressed hie convictioa that

there ig‘no eignifieant underground organisation in Poland which |
might be eansidered as an immediate assat by the vest, and enpha-

sized his belief that serious disturtances would not occur as long
ae tho present Soviet control mochaniss retains ifs power and the
Soviet. arnies in Poland and East Germany ro unctallenged. The
bitter lessons of World War II, particularly the abortive Narsaw
uprisings, and leck-of confidenca in the Polish emigration define
itely discourage active resistance. The Foles increasingly tend to
resent tha action of the emigre leaders, revarding then assa:tially
as. avmbols of failure, and, Flack feels, vill undsubtedly develop
nav leaders from within the: country when the time comea for actions
30 Plack carefully distinguished resistance as an ivmediate
asset froa resistance ag a potential asset. Hs expressed the

. belief that the Catholic Chirch atill cffers the atrongest ard the

best organised base of rvsistance in Poland aa it is looked upon
as the only symbol of continuity and solidarity with the paste To
this ha added his own appreciation for traditional Polish spirit
of indepencanee and Christian orientation, and e-phasiged hia
belief that Tolish hatred of Kuasians anc communisn continues to
mount. Unfortunately, similar sonti-en* pyraists with reference to

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

September 17, 1953.

Miss McCrum:

Thave a feeling that no one on our ide ie prepared to keep a firm hand
on the Jaan Paul David trip. :

David is timoelf a king-sizo {roe wheeler. Although be is unquestionably
‘one of the French "doers," as opposed to “talkers, in thia field, he
is also quite a big-mouth and inclined to over -talk, Over-promine and over-

' indulge in cloak-and-dagger stage setting. U he hasn't got a guard, armed

to the teeth, with a berat and a half-burned cigarette glued to his undorlip,
lurking outside the dining-room, he can't enjoy hig meal. us

The plot ia complicated by the fact that as far as the U.S. ja concerned
he has always been strictly covert. This time he arrives as strictly

‘“overt" s0'no one on our side will roally know how to behave since

everyone will have todo and be the exact oppoaite of what they did and
were during David's last trip. .

I would suggest that you show the attached to Abbott Washburn, George

' Morgan, Tom Sraden and/or Bill Durkee, and Joa Phillips (also thio note) '

and suggsot that they work out whe should consider himself responoible.

I personally hope Joe Phillips will be willing to take it on,

Incidentally, the American who handles David best ie Helen Kirkpatrick,
She might conceivably be drafted aa chaperone for this trip.

COPY

The following ia {rom a dispatch written by Me. William Tyler, dated
(22 Juno 1953, _ :

ae 1. After a recent conversation with Jean Paul David, at which time he
. -* outlined hie activities and ideas in connection with the mission with which
he io charged by Georgos Bidault, I received a lettor from him,

2. It will be seon {rom this letter that David is most anxious that the
report which he will make on hia vutvey should reprosent, without committing
any one Country, a systhesie of the views and the resources of the Western
powerga allied under NATO, in the broad field of Propaganda and psychological
warfare dosigned to build support for Western defense policy and to promote

the achlevement of. the Odjectives of these policies,

y wAlch we-have to face, and which we’
are probably unique in having to face, i3 due to the organisational otructurg
within which we Oparate officially ia the general field under discuasion, In
a country like Italy, for example, it is possible for David to have exchanges
of views with high officials of-the- government and to feel reasonably sure
that even though auch views aro not to be taken aa 8 commitment, they do in fact
represent the disposition of the government in question, or any government
likely to succéed it, toward these probdloms. In our case, however, it seems
to me that it will requiro careful Préparation to determine with whom David
should consult and to work out a conatructive pos:tion which will influence
bis report and his recommendations in a direction which wa approve, -

3. It occurs to me that a difficult

; 4. It is particularly difficult for me to make specific recommendations,
since developments in Washington in the last few months are difficult ta
keep up with fram overseaa. R would, therefore, be particularly helpful
to-have headquarters' viewa at this stage on the following points, assuming
‘that David. will go tothe States in late September on the last leg of hia survey:
a. With whom should he meet for basic discussions. (It occurs to
me that a suitable body, if atillia existence, would. be the Psychological
Operations Coordinating Committes.) . a
: b. Within what limits at this time are we prepared to discuss the
problem of concerted action for the psychological strength of the North

Atlaatic Community.

5. As headquarters is aware, C. D. Jackson knows David personally,
and it would perhaps be useful to arrange for conversation’ with him and
“pny group he might have in mind.:.: It is true that the position of David
with regard to this Agency is anomalous, ‘since the survey on which he is
engaged, far fram relating to covert Operations, is of the most official

kind possible. As he.

mission in reality pertain more to the Stato Department-and NATO than
to ua, and It seoma to mo that we should not be in the direct lino of fire

. except in the ‘capacity of individual observara or participants in the:
-conversationa he will have. It would, therefore, seem to be all the more

important that wo arrivo ata clear undorstanding among ourselves aa to
how David's trip to the States will be organised and what is to be the

Translation of Latter from Jeon-Paul David

Juno 19, 1953

You know that - probably toward the esd of September - I an
to loave. for tha United States on a mission entrusted to 29 by
tha Minioter of Foreign Affaira, :

Yr, Bidsult is concerned - and juotily 90, about the problems
connected with the objectives of my survey; and ny deoire is to.
produce @ Franlistic report since I wish to avoid (you know my vay
of thinking) the traditional phraseology vhich gensrally takes
the plane of action.

- To date, in Italy, Belgium, Holland, Denmarh, Norvny .. I
have succeauively conferred with the Prime Ninioters, Ministers of
Foreign Affaire, of Defense, of the Interior, of Education.’ I have.
also sometimes mst with the Chiefs of Staff, and spectalista of ,

information and of psychalogical varfare.
To all of them, I have said:

"Mr. Bidault hss requested me to miko this survey ant you have
before you the text of the French note which speaks for itself and -
seems to require mo further comment. I want to ask you to otate,

-in writing and without in any way committing your Goverment or your
-particular services, vhat solutions seca reasonable. I wish to gather

ali constructive idess on this mtter. Your ideas will bo useful,
perhaps, to other countries ~ oven if you think them inappliaobla in
your ovn. Then, I atall sake 9 synthesise of the reports s0 ascomdled -
adding thereto the thoughts of the French Hinioter of Foreign Affaira
dn this rospect. And, at tha (NATO) ‘Conference of the 14" at tho end
of October, ve shall here available a program on the basia of which
constructive action can be taken,”

There, in telegraphic style, ia my argument. I should add that
evoryvhere I found an excellent weloom, overyono accepted this method

and proaiced mo substantial reports.
But, if in smal. or medium-size countries, I havo ensountered

no major difficulties, 1 have no idea of tho way of thinking of your

compatriots on such matters. And this nota ie for no otber reason

tBan to ask you to express your thoughts, in view of the oxcellent

advice you can givo nm. ~ ; a .

I want to. emphmoize thet, in gy mind, the reports ani - _

I W111 naz po one, compronise no ome, I want to gather the sua
of the ideas and resources of the Atlantic commmity ‘in this domain

and add a fev porsoral ideas whith soem workable.

Thst to why, my deor Bill, I ask for your contribution as Io

1. The central facts in thie business areas follows:

: a NCFE had a letter sent to the President of the United States |
Signed by various. individual exiles exprossing their gratification
‘to the United States Government for its "initiative in plscing as an
iten for the agenda of the 8th session of the General Assembly of the
Suited Nationa tho matter of "Evidence of Existence of Forced Labor',
C vo

. d. At this Division's d rection the Departzent of State was
oe asked to prepare an answer to this letter for the President's signa~'
a ture which NCFE could publioly exploit in cooperation wita the United
States Mission to the United Nations. ;
6. Late Friday afternoon this Division was informed by the De~
Partront that no answer could ts forthcoming as the ULB. Delegation
bad dacided not to ‘push the forced labor mattar at this time, NCFE
was informed to this effeot the same afternocn and again on Monday by
this Division, ire

do Because its letter was not being answarad, KC?Z erronsously
assumed that the work it was doing on forced lator in cooperation
“wita the U.N. Delegation was to be of no avail and in fact that it
“Was.the decided’ polloy of the United States Government pot to force
tais issue at this or any other tine,

- The net effect of this matter is as follows:

_ (1) The Department of State will draft an answer for the
President's signature which will be transnitted to Becretary of
State, Dulles for his personal approval atter consultation with
Ambassador Lodge. The approved answer will then be tranamitted

As far as East Germany is concernod, most significant news is vote by
International Confederation of Freo Trade Unions to set up a fund "to
support insurpent uniong in East Germany and other satcllite countries

in their efforts to undermine communist control’, Georzo He: > Presie
dent of AF of Ly prediated that:-substantial sums would be ‘made available |
but °deolined for obvious reasons" to say how they would be apant.

Meany's anfouncenent would aeem to be an event of major aimmificanse in
which all target area3 should be equally interested. :

Latest 're>orts on East German purge reosive most of their meaning fron
fact that a faction presently losing out ia sald to be oomposed of com
minists who = - while not at all disloyal to the Kremlin = ~ are not
Muscovites. in the sense in. which the victors are Mussovites. Chances are
that all communist functionaries who did not spend the last war inside
‘Russia are in danger of their Jobs or, as the case may be, of their lives.

Human interest staries on recipients of food aid speak for themsalves.
However, emphasis might well be on fact that recipients are either pri-
marily or axclusively unamployed workers - = and that comuunists deny

Co Operational Considerationss

1.' If delivery of food into satellite areas is considered
feasitly, realistically sound, then entire operational effort nust
be centered at launching =~ delivery of food in the shorteat period

of time. Counterection to the impact of food deliveries will be
immediate and sustained to include "tampering" with food packares,

wholesale arrest, BW charges volstered uy staged photography.

. 24 Launching sites previously used by the Crusade for
Freedom for balloon ope:atione into Czechoslovakia were located
along the Czech frontier between Chan and Hof. For launchings

into Poland and Hun ary, sites in berlin and in and around Jraz,
Austria, respectively, would be the sost operationally satisfactory.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, International Organizations

T had a talk with ‘Spencer Phenix about NCFE matters and
the following points were discussed,

Ql) A Strategy Board to guide RFE. Spencer feels the need
for some higher level political guidance than RFE is getting from
their staff peuple and talked about getting together a board of people |
like George Kennan, etc; I told Spencer that 1 thought it unlikely
that George would give very much time to this but might be willing
to give them an occasional idea or suggestion, .

(2) Spencer asked me ‘about the possibility of their finding -
some job for Sam Reber. I told him to wait on this until I had time

to discuss it with FW, :

(3) Spencer seemed disturbed that the allocation of one

«million a month until our budget was passed would cramp their

ltold him that if they had particular difficulties to

let me know. He also asked what they should do about the proposed
allocation of $400, 000 to’ ‘help in the. refugee situation, I told him i
was not familiar with this particular issue, :

“(4) He suggested that it would be well to have ‘a meeting here
with some of the members of the Board and the Executive Comminze
and suggested a date around the first week in August. I told him I
would do it if Thad not already left the country by that time.

(5) Spencer is pleased with the better integration ard
coordination af activities between their shop and this office.

2. Yt may be vell for us to Alecuss how ve can beat tate ad-

Should there be an uprising in Poland, for exaupie, it may be desire

‘able for RFE to placa broaicasting time at the disposal of Radio

Liberation so that the latter oy addreas concentrated ani repeated
appeala to the Red Army not to fire oa Polish vorkerfs abd peasants,
pot to interfere in the Polish atruggle far freetom, and to consider
the Polish people as the allies of the Soviet people in their common
struggle against Commalec. It was this lice that Hocio Liveration
follcwed during the East Cernan uprisings. In the event of riots

in Czechoslovakia vhere the Red Army is rot present in force and
where the satellite eecurtty rorces may be unable to keep order,
close cooperation vill be even sore desiratle.

3. Copsidereation could be giveo to having RFE allot Radio
Liberation regular time on its proacceants to Poland and bulgaria
vhere there are large corsestrations of Sovi-t troops 60 that Radio
Liberation can further build up tre idea or o free, soviet anti-

@ ¢ dD. Jackson! a proposal to send food to East b Oormany

b. C.D. Jackson's proposal for a monument nonotiad to be.
put up near the Brandenbury dato. I isould lite to comment on
those two propoesls for what uso Lt may ba to you,

2. It seaw to mo food shionent via balloon dea meaningless
gesture. It till not do any positive ood beeausa it ean't yet enough
. £ood inte Enact Gormany to make any Bfferarce, Thug a negative result:
- de fostered; it looks and appears to be psyenoloyical warfare of a
rather obvious icind. The food offers by the U. &. Jovernmant and
‘those by the ICFTU wore, as the London Mos pointed out last XM
vo. psychological victories, but. the Russians are now moving food into”
Germany in far greater quantities than we can do via balloon. In
addition, there. are obvious dangers from tis standpoint of a BY play-
back.ao Mr. Wisner suggested, It would bo mach easier and much more
. effective for tho Russians to use the Bi theses on balloon shipments
than on any quantities of food that tho Government or tho ICFTU are
.. Betually able to get behind the Iron Curtain. In sun, balloons aro |
' & trick and food deesn't lend itself to tricks.

3. ZI thiny the monument idea is a ressectable one but not on

the level that the P35 people seem to vant to play it. They have in
mind a world campaign to be conducted in o11 countries, particularly
in this one and in South Ameriea with a distinguished body of citiseng

*  gnough for that (the best mesorial- co far erected was Berlin's own

I think the masorial idea ought to be left to the Germans. We can

The oppration took place betwaan GSO Monday,
July 13, 1953 and 2400, Friday, July 17.
Balloons were in the ulr 15 working cays after
concoption of the didoa, and & working cays after
final approval. The third (Boriin-Beria) ook
mesaago wus sent “te the printer on Saturday3; on
Monday 2,909,000 coplas weru at the site and on
tho way to their destination.

ACerew of 22 workmen was transported from Munich
to the alte, Tneluding guarda, drivers, and
supervisory personnel, the total payroll for the
oporation waa approxtmatoly 40. The. crew was
billeted tn 4 small hotel in the nearby village
of Tiraohonrouth and was fed in a Gasthof at the
alte, Working time totalled approximately 3cCcn

‘man houra, The operation entatLled the use of

7058 cubic metera of hydrogen, representing 17900

Tho rubbor balloens carried an average payload

of 2 Abs. and burst at an altitude of from 30,000
to 40,000 ft. They rose in the air at a rate of
10¢ to 509 ft. por mimite. Ths total elapsed
timo from the loafleta' point of departure to
arrival on the ground ranged from 2 to § hourse
The plastio balloons carried a payload.of from
1/loth to 4/LOthsa of a pound, travellod at an

“altitude of 30,000 ft., and penetrated from 6O
‘to 300 miies, depending on the target desired.

The plastic ballaons do not burat but descend

to the ground at a volnt. determined by the amcunt
of gas and welght of payload. At the peak of tha
Operation well over one milltor Messages were in
the air at the same time, .

The wind speed averaged 40 miles per heur and
ranged from 240° (blowing Into Northern Bohemta)
to 2769 (blowing towards Prague and Ostrava).
Pllasn asa bracketed from both launching altes.
Meteoroingleal data wan obtained from the Neublberg
alr bass end confirmed by radar fuctlitiea

located 7 kilometers from the afte. These
facilltleas and the pernonnet necessary to man them
were obtained from the U. S.-Almy. They were

able to track target balloons deap inte the ;
country. The radar unita were also ablo to aatect
Czechoslovak air activity and to asteblish that
the other sids was also using radar, presumably .
in connection with tha balloons/

Border activity was intensified during the paricd
of operations, During 5 trips to the frontier
(which was within sight of the launching lecaticr),
it was sbserved that officers had replaced enliated
men on border patrols. On several. ocensicns
attempts were. made by ground forces to shcot down

the balloons, slthough anly two hits ware observed

“by bordor police.

Cn Wednesday, July 15, at 1400 hours, two
Rigs flew along tha frontier over thy site and were
clearly observed by the working party. Subsequently -
that afternoon the thsodolite was moved to a h{iltop
oint (from which, incidentally, the hills around
Ptisen oould be discerned) and Migs. attempting to
shoot down ballcon3fwere viewed by mumbers of the
Party as well as by the German border patrol. As

‘msny as 7 Migs wore observed at one time. Three hits

were witnoused, two of which uppeared to cause the
balloons to explode and one of which almply cause
the balloon to disuppyar, On Wednesday night -

additional planes wors reported by border polices —

Sesarchlights were also asen; .On-Thursaday, 5
Messeramiths 109Fs' reSlaced tho Migs and succeeded
in destroying three balloons. No alr acticn was
observed on Friday, although at 1000 hours a jet
vapor trail materlalized directly above the

Launching site and was headed into Czechoslovakia, |

However, 1t was impossible to aee the aircraft or

‘to say for certain that this was ea border violation.

On the last night of speraticns (Thursday) a
Prooessicn of 80 plastic balloons with candle-lanterns
was launched. Sinoe the night was purfectly clear,
the "torchlight parade" oould be easily observed -,
the lights looked like stars marching quietly acress

The total cost of dota the original operation and

the supplementary Sorlin-Bsria mesuage 1s estimated

at luss than $25,000, or a unit cost of 1/S5th of a
cent per message sent. A substantial portien of

this reprasents transportation and cther non-recurrent

.expenses which would aot ba involved in a sustained

Operation, :

Note must be made of the invaluable ¢echnicai and
operational assistancs provided hy the two Goneral
Kills personnel, Mr. ©. B. Moore and Mr. Fleccher
Bartholomew, who wares vresent on the trips It
should also be mantioned that the help of RFE
personnel was exceedingly valuable.

As of the date of ‘this report, regime reaction
includes: :

13, In accordance with previous Plans, Wesatorn
‘ publicity about, the operation was dt scourageds

The limited Purpoge of > "Prouparo” has, so far as we know,
been substantially achieved. Homover, it must bo acknowledged
that an operation of this kind | iis both atronghy: prevocati ve
and (because ‘of Ita tangible form) sudooptible to dangers not
risked by radios There is the further complication that: it ta
launched from German s011 and could convelvabiy cause in} Jury to
RPE'a position in Germany. ‘All of these faotors must be
carefully welghed tn considering any future action of this sort.

Further, this mst be olasaified on a "orayh action", as :
evidenced by the time elapsed batwoen conception and tamination.
Crash actions are good once or tetce, but are not to be
recommended as.a habit either from the point cf view of cost on,
even more important,.in cognizance of the utter nacessity of
careful and thorough preparation o° the best possible nlessega.

On the positive aide, this can be stated:

1, The message was timely. worth saying, and clesaly
integrated with RPE Poidcye

2. Enemy reaction was immediate end soraly hurt.
3. -Intornal conditions and tne world Communist

situation suggest that the acticn was stakan at
an apt moment. .

SUBJECT: Mr, Kenneth Desn Koch

1.° In Jamery of this year I dircussed with your office the
retenticn of Kenneth Dean. Kech in Berlin eas RFE representative,
due to his oxtonsive ueofvulness to FI in Berlin, providing PI
with cover facilities; leads, general services and working very ™
patisfactorily in supporting the FI mission in Berlin, At that
time I ves assured by IC that they would do everything possible
to retain Mr. Koch in Berlin as the RFE representative. In May
of this yoar I had cecasion to visit Bob lang in New York on
another matter and T-avain touched upen Mr, Koch's assignment in
Berlin, at which tine My, lang assured we thet no changes vould
be made in Koch's aasignment in Berlin vithout prior clearance _
with me. He also emphasized that no man vould ba sent to Berlin
Who did -not-meet with our comlete approval, In the morntima,
Koch was sent to Israel to set up the RFE office but eeeningly
met with opposition on the part of Ierae) authorities and hag

John Elliott has takon cver the KFE office da Berlin and there
,b8en0 to be no attem:t to make any concessicna to FI wishes in
Berlin, . .

2. We fird this solution an extremely unautisfactory one.
Eliott, by background, general character, and atility, ia not
69 useful to FI in berlin ep..Kooh was end I seriously doubt thet
RFE vould find him aa eatisfactory as Kuch in standard RFE businegs,
I knsy Elliott vhen ‘he wag a n@wsraper man, end I have checked with
Beveral of his fcrmer colleagues vio agree that he does not have
any of the hard-hitting qualities sc desireble for an RFE repre=
sentative in Berlin, This is not an attempt to belittle hia.
ability 69 a journalist but the job in Berlin is very much more
than that, In shert, I would arrreciate your cffice ‘taking steps
with RFE to return Dean Koch to Berlin og RFE raprecentative, since

Memorandum for the Kecord

Subject: | Conversation with Congressman Keroten

lL. On 6 May Congressman Kersten addressed a letter t> the
State Department, enclosing a letter dated 6 May 1953, which he had
received from Mr, Creighton Scott, a former employee of Radio Free -
Europe at Munich, Germany, This letter was highly critical of cers
tain personnel in RI, particularly as regards allegations of pro-com-
munist attitudes. On 6 July [ discussed these criticisms with Congress.
man Kersten in detail, conveying to him orally the material contained —
in the memorandum of 17 June 1953 Crom the Director of Security; Subject: ©
Inquiry by Congressman Keraten; which the Director of Security had noted
Should be ulllized in this meeting with Congressman Kersten, a

2. The Congreseman noted the difficulty in evaluating the type of

criticisms which Mr. Scott had made but appeared willing to accept our

explanation,

3. Congressman \adaten then. turned to certain criticisins which
he had heard expressed regarding RFE from several scurces, including
Scvtt, One such criti¢ism is that RFE is nd doing the best :t should on
He feels that this aspect uf the bruadcasis could

probably be considerably strengthened, particularly among Catholic

elementa,

4. Mr. Kersien cited the opinion of Count Tarnowski (sp. 7), -a well
known Pole, who told the Congressman that any fourteen year old Soviet
citizen would be s> well briefed on Sovict philosophy us to tara up their
nosea at the RFE material. The Count (and Sersten appears (> agree)
feels that the Soviet population has more sophisticated philosophical
material thrown at them by their own Government, ond that it should be an.
important function of RFE to counter with an atlermpt ta destray the Soviet
philosophical material and shake the Soviet faith in their theoreticians, :

5. Congressman Kersten realized that it is difficult to capture a
wide audience with philosophical arguinents, but he .feet!s that if these
arguments reached a segment of important leaders behind the Iron Curtain,
it would help to destroy and counter the philosophica! teachings of Marx,
Lenin, etal. The Congressmen feels that many of our brd5adcasts deal

«with economic matters, and, while these are important, RFE should go.

6. While Cungresaman Kersten is-aware that many of the

his opinion that RFE cannot beat communiem with socialism. In
particular, he felt (and Scott bore this out in their conversation)
that we were making tus much uge of Czech socialists, and we wera
using soctalists from the Bence Givernment which had sought to |
compromise with the communists. While he recognizes the popu.
larity of Benes and Masary% in Czechia, he feels they are not ef-
fective in Slovakia, where there is a heavy Catholic pupulation,

in September. While he did nit say bu, I belicve he would welcome
an invitation tu visit RFE, Munich, Furthermore, as the author of

1, I think a budget presentation before a mixed audience of PFC
rerioera and. directors or members of the Exemitive Committee of NCFZ
plas eupyouedly manbers of tho NCrZ staff wld be extrenoly confusing,
viernes it were hold here or in New York, Hot all tho maxbers of tha
PFC have detailed knowledge of NCKE onerationa and most.of the merbers
of the “xecutive Comittee do not have such knwiedge. I see a reoting
puch as .Artaur Pazs sugneats golng about as follows: : '

a. I0 Divieton presents tha budget with cuta wich we plan
t2 rocommond.

b. Membera of the Executive Committees of NCFE oppose the
cata. : a . ;

@. PRC is placed in a position of tarning dom its om
staff before tho assembled outsiders with whow the staff is
working. :

2. 1 should sugzest instead that we follow the following proce-

a. IO Division presents the budget with the sugsested cuts
in sane. ,

De PRO considers these cuts carefully.

©, PRC calles in axpert members of the staff of NCFE, 1.0.

3. It would be useful to brief the Executive Comittee on
the reasons why any changes in the budget are made aftor they are |
made, and it might be well to have a lunchoon with tho ixecutive

L. I suzgeot that you write Arthur pace saying that you think

that you do think a % : ving with the Exccutivo Committee to

ahead after the budget has been passed would be useful, .

an attempt shoul: be nade to rive support to a new conmmittes through a
large national council -in order to establish unity of the leaders and
of the Ruzanian colony abroad. [e Said that on the day of General
Radescu's death, he had received a letter from the General asicing his
to take over "tig task" to assure the unity of the Rumatiang abruads
Gafencu also wrote that friends in Faris and abroad had asked him to
take over tie leaderatiip of a small "ad noc" committee with ‘the: support
of all the Associations of Free Runanians, which he stated he will do _
if tho New York croup assures hin of their support. . After that, he
indleated ne would see if there would be a possibility of an understanding |

with the Vieotanu group. ,

6. Frince Wicholas renerts that ne has been approached by Gafeneu
with a request that he join forces with Cafencu to fora a new Rumanian
refuree ecmalttee under Gafercu's leadership and with headquarters in
France. A comnittee embracing such individuals ag Nicholas and General.
Ion Gheor;jie, wiiem Gefenen also reportedly approached, would not: be
acceptable to segnents sf the Rumanian refurce colony. because Nicholas

Ho. 26 Dear Adolf,

_then doos not reflect the disappointing results.

on the other,

April 1, 1953

A day cr two ‘vofore I sailed for Burope in Jamuary, 1953, I received
a-typed mamseript

; copy of tho "Progress Report on the College de 1'Zurope
_ Libre", which has now appeared in mimeographed form under date of February

27,1953, over the signaturus of Royall Tyler and Richard Sears!

I admit to considerable curiosity when this document appoared. In
the covering letter Royall Tyler morely statud, "It comes fram Dick Sears".
I rather wondered why thio report should be cemptled when it was| known I was
coming to burope presumably to examtne into conditions and it seemed to. me
immediately that this might.be a counter foil to what it was expected I
would find, In resly to a direct inquiry from re, Sears now states it was
‘prepared "to reinforce the German languago ur project by supplying informa.
tion that was apparently lacking.

At the risk of indfeating an overly suspicious temperament, which is
not charactoristic of mo, I feel that this. report over-simplifies!a complex

. Bituatio:. It emtedies a point of view that the operation at Strasbourg

4s proceeding smeothly and successfully, hich it is not. It assums that a
paper plan (for the National Seminars) is in full and healthy bloom, which is

_hot the casa. I have stated so frequently (alrost ad nauseam) that you must
live in this frustrating atmosphere for a while.bafare you can understand what

Exeoutive Comittee, to whom I-am sending copius of thia let‘or, have. received
it. . . .

The settence (bottom of Page 9 and going over to top ofPnga 10),
"Thesa were mon of advanced education, oxpert in thelr mowledge of jthoir om
countries but also, most of then, having studied in Frenc?: institutions ard 80
capable of forming a bond for thy students between their training at, homo and_
in exile.", 19 not on sccurate description of tho caliter of tho tutorse

On Paga li, second Mine, I would question defimitely the phrase
®yoll organized administration”. Also on that page, sixth line, tha] sentence,
"Special Freneh courses wero belng given to those who still showed woaknesa.",
is ‘misleading. Such courers wore announced, tut the progren for teaching tho
French language is only now being outlined with the help cf, the French language
staff at Strasbourg University after a conference with then I ealled|for this

purpose,

On the same page again, fifth line from the bottom, the phrase "ths
severity of the action taken in tho autumn has had a salutary effoct|in |
impoaing firmer discipline and ‘setting higher standards" einply 1s not 30.

The manner in whichthe action waz taxen, and tho inaceurazy of sove of the
judgments, whichhad to te reversed, called forth protests from staff jand stu-
dénts alike and did as much aa anything else to cause present low student morale.

On Page 16, tho last sentence in tho first paragraph roads, "A fresh
start in life combined with exposure to Western thouzht ard practice pall, we”
are encouraged to hope, produce a ful] return." Instead of what tho statement

implias, the students have witnessed a.cleavage batween tle Huropean ietaff and
ice® has boon

anything but inspiring: or unifying.

The distribution of this documont can bo and will be very misleading
by its implications tht success has been achieved to an extent that warranta
our proceeding on our present path. That will be unfortunate. ‘ie mmvo acquired
a fund of valuable experience and we havo made mistakes. Tre net result ig tho :

1, Aba PRC agticn on rriduy, 2% May, aa an interin action

&xile account -- tho proposed FY 1954 oparatinz expendituros --
with authority for NCIT: to draw upon this account for ‘three
months at thse current rate of: exoendituras, CFR authoritiva
had requested that tho full ammnt de made available to then
at thio time to enable taen to comly with tho. leval roquire-

“ : monte of the Hoard of itezonts of the State of lew York, to

i which tne University is responsible, It was exoressl; stated

i that the aotivities of the cE would be subject tu the later |
full review and that the recomended action in no ‘way im lled |
approval ot University activities at this time; and re ‘

6. Approval for RFE capital expenditures of 41,299,275
for the completion of E48 transmitter program Ln its’ prosent
locations. The funds for hess oxpenditures wore to come out
of Crusades funda which, as you know, are spécitlcally raised
for capital construction, : ;

2. In its action she PPC,

. &. Refused to allow tho 23,945,104 whieh ncr2 requested
po . to cover its current onerauinys expensea by cutting this Cirure
: to $3,000,000 wits the statement NCEE Can come bac for. nore -
i nocensary, and with the further stipulation that Crusdde

- Yunda be used for tis purposes Lo

b. Refused to allow RIE to undertake ite proposed capital .
development but authorized thie Division to investigate the -
ye : pomsibility of using two lM kw transmitters owned by this
bos Agency and ao well as the purchasu of the unused 100 kw's fron
VOAs and . ee

14-0000

ard Our recommendations thereto,

c. Rafused to appropriate any money for the FEVE, but
directed ficiE to transfor funda from other accounts including
that of the Crusade for Freedom to the SEE, autiorleing NCFB

“to incur expenditures for threa months at the current rate,

3. The intent of thle Tivision in ito recommandati ong, to the
PEC was to provide NCFE anc tha FEUL with the oporating funds neces-
sary to continue ites aotivities in the FY 1954 at the current rate.
These funda wore to tide NCrE over the rlrat months of FY 1osh,
pending a thorouvh budgetary and oroxran review ‘and subsoquent pre-
sentation and recommendations to proper CIA authorities inithe month
of Aucint, At that tine wiitney Shananison will have completed his
Anitial tour of insnectton, and can be on hand t9 dofend hin budget

The only excantion to thia nrocedure waa the Pequest for
approval of Ri's'9 cnpital noods. Thais raqueat wes inde alter a
Unerough examination of pranosals by this Division ana Ueneral |
McClatlud, Ofifice-ol Communications, his technical atafi and RE
eminsers, As a result, Goneral HeClelland autiorteed this Division
Ww stato to the Privy that tho ik oreposals vera technically sound.
As far as théae capital expenditures are concesned the 10 Miviaton
had completed ita review and recomended thetr approval in iorder that
thore be no dalay in getting thta additianal tranomitter oquipmont in

place.

4, I would strongly sugvest that the maotins on Thursday not
involve a goneral budgetary review, It vhoulu ba confined sino
opinion, to a atavement to Mr. Spancor “henix and hia budyctary
offieer, wo should bo the sole #UFE officers presont, tiut CIA will

condust through the [0 Uivisian: Sy
& A thorough and dotailed review of all current activities

and nev activities proposed by NCFEy. _ . i

b. A financial review in the sense that all financial infor
mation necessary to support the NCF* proyran and budvet is mde
avallable. Our atudy of this financial information will be
confined to a general -raview to ensure accuracy, adequate explana~
tions of uncertain items and a veneral analysie to ensure proper
budgetary procedures, I would like to point out_and strongly
emphasize that we have already received tie almost cooperation
rrad and fisca

. an
5S. We cannot, tn my opinion, having granted: NCFF broad authcrity
ia the oxecution of its task, soex to impose our Judymont for theirs

in the detaile of their management of this project, Such matters as |

wern raised at the PRC, i.e. whether the request for replacement of
32 trucks is based on Avency standards for truck replacement, have in ‘
my opinion no plase in such a review, Wa can review manazenent and

fiscal policies in a broad sense to satisfy ourselves that they are

sound. CFE offietals. sivuld be present at the budset review. to

answer Such questions. ‘This 18 thoir responsibility, If ‘we are
dissatisfied witn the present manayenent, we should get.a now one...

We have, however, the responslbility of making a detailed
review of the. poli¢ios and the activities Gf NCFE undertaken in -
pursuance of their mission as uivon to them by this Agency, | NCFE
is entitled to know tat ite provrans and polictos are xp
that no after the fact: question can ering. Equally, NCFre is not: ~
ontitled to undertuke provrams or aetivittee witch are not approved
by this Avency,. i 4

. At the completion of its review of HCEES proposed ‘progran
for FY 19Sh, a review wiiea favelves detallod examination in coonera-
tion with the CIA otarfe and prea divinions and with the Department

of State, [9 Livision Will make its recommendations to the; proper |

Anency officials for thetr final action, Such an orderly procedure ;
wall eneble this Acensy to have comletely reviewed NCFE's activities,
to have concurred in each, and wil). allow NCKE to proceed in the
‘mowledge that ito activities are fully authorized anc arproved.

6. I, theraforo, propone that tha: meoting on ‘Thursday be
confined to Phenix and hia budget officer durins which the ‘above
acproach can be made. 1 will leave for your judgment the question
wheather tha actions of the .PYn on Frhday sould be opened for raview
and modification, Phenix will certninly want to do ao for ‘the
following reasons: | . :

eo

a. Tne operating funds authorized are not adaquatsy

.b. fhe directive to use Criaada funis for oporattonal
' @xpenses runs counter to established procedures and NCFE's
commitments to the public in the use of euch funds;

&. The failure to approve KFE capltal items now scans a
delay into noxt year of the installution of tranenttting —~
Squirment, which if anoroved now, can be tn place anid operating
by October of this year, (This will not be the case if you
authorize our use of the Avency owned 109 Inw'a and a purchase
of the VOA tronemitters can be arranged, which [ believe can);

a
ccount,
@. There sara mt sufficient surplus funds, fexoluding the
Crusada, to a.nly to the Froa Eurme Univerat ty, (There are,
however, impressed cash funds which are a three months! operating

SUBIZCT $ Matorial for Tranoalttal to RIB. . on

1. Forwarded herewith 49 a let of persons vho are considered'to be
aceeptable script writera for Albanian naterial to be prepared for use by
RFE.:. It was originally intended to forward a list of persons pot considered :

aa suitable, but it wos later felt. that thio negative approach alzht allow BOR . mo
unacooptable persons to slip through. You will note that this approved liat oa
consists of only 30 nazes, If RFE proposen te une any persons not on |the .
Jot all that they have to do 1a aubmit the namo of the proposed soript writer.
.60 that we nay oheck-our files for any information on him, Immediately upon
receipt ef the namo of a peraon wo vill ‘reply, stating whether tho person iss
(a) unacceptable now, (b) say be used ono tina only, or (c) may be uded and
added to the approved list. ; ; 4

- 2, Of particuler interest to'us, and seusthing wo consider worthy of
RFZ'a attention, 1s the recent use of Rrneat Koliqt for the preparation ofa
soript. Hr. Koliqi is-a manbver of the FKI, a political organization ‘which has
been unaccoptable in the past. Mr. Koltyi do further unacceptable 44 jan Lodl-

’ widual by reason of his past. “From tha condensed information available on him
‘4t appears that he "cooperated vith the Italian Mintater to Tirana in |preparing
the Italian ecoupation . . . raturned to Tirena (ha had long lived in|Italy as
be docs nov) whero he held the post of Minister of Education 19391943.
Member of the Albanian Paselst party.

3. It would seam that the usa of Mr. Keliqi for the preparation |of
scripts 1s subject to serious question, In this script for February ‘22, page
2, be statea "a much better presentation of tho various litorary phases eae
ig. the anthology entitled rhe Albanian Writers published in 1941 by'the
Mintoter of Education. (Kote that he was tho Minister of Education ‘during

thie period under the Fascist government. ) a

: 4. There are other specific emmuplea ef possibly doubtful persons having.
been used in the preparation of scripts. Dimiter Mareti, a Zogist official
when Zog was in povor, a Fasoist official vhen the Fasolate vere in pover, and
new reported to be a Cossunist stooge, waa used on several: occasions, | Zef
Shiro, forwerly, and possibly still, editor of the Poscist magasine, "Albania®
was used for tho preparation of a script-.on January Bee

with the IRO! GUARD and later, with the Rumanian Conzunist Goverment.

that TILFA fa an agent of the Hritisth Intelligence Service, This opinion
appeara to be held by many knowlod:aable Rumanian srigres.

3. That Subject 1s definitely linked to Nicolae MALAXA is borne
out by” the following: .

couple of days ago and walch: I quote a2 follows: , :

"On danuary 14, Alexander Booker of the German Foreign Office.
infgvonally brought to our attention a map of Eastern Europe
whien apveared in the fecember tasue of "News from Behind the
Ira: Curtain", a zonthly periodieal published by the "National
Comz.t tee for a Freo Europe", Tnis map which ig showm in- 1
smsit} seale on pace 1 of thle periodical, shows oll of Eastern
Gernasy, including East Pruseia, tha Satellite States, and the
former Baltic States. In the case of the former German terri-
tories east of the Wder-Heisse line, tie area io simply shown
as telonging to Poland, and ita sre-war borders are not sot
off by a dotted line. With reazect to Poland, Csechoslovakia
and icmania, however, the territcrios that were annexed by
the Soviet Union during or after iorld War IT ara clearly

. marked Sy a dotted lins. Furthermore, the Eastern Zone of
Germacy aa well as Zast Prussia are enown in the samo colors
as t22 Soviet Union, whereas the Paitic and Satellite States

are stom in white.

FAltmouzh Booker admitted that tha man itself was not of great
whance. he sovertheleas pointed out that it represents —

: fo ta tyzical oxampla of the one-sided anti-German propaganda‘

po put 22% not only by the National Cozmittes for a Free Europe

i : but also by Hacio ¥ree Europe. Suer propaganda, he said, can

. only increase the misyivings whien many Germans, particularly

/ | the rarugees, alreacy entertain with respect to the activities

poe _ of «ta committee and on: the eperations.of Radio Free Europe on

ot . Germs soll. Finally, Booker politely ninted that the German .
Goversment would welcome it if the U. S. High Commission would | .
use its influence with the National Committee for a Free Europe

' to step dissemination of such anti~Jerman propaganda in the -
fervcse. =A more constructive and objective propazanda policy

oo of ts— comalttee and Radio Free Eursne along the lines of a

boy: ; larger Suropean Community that would embrace Poland and Csecho-

\ : . elovetia as well as a.reunited Germany and the other European

betwoon tha various refugee elamants but would also havo |
the full eupport of all dernios, Bookor added," ‘
Incidentally, I think you are datos an awfally good Job on this
kind of thing. Tho other night ft a@cmually read through an entiro,
cory. os ep

Tho articlo on mste for the masses and the general axmge of
the attack on the arts is particuiariy elunifieant, £ think. Until
the recent anti-Semitism, this f1e17 of cultura is the one Meld of
Soviet activity in siiich they ware wsinerablo before neutralista and-
fellov-travalorsa everywhere. The texiancy of the intellectual to:
swallov.the Soviet line on culture, to call for the Stalin Prisee,
‘the high status accarmted tha obedient intelleatual in Soviet Boclaty,

“amd pssudo-sctontifie appeal of the sercian dona of equality ta :
cangerous. Ina tree society, the intellectual ts the origin of
ideas, : ; . : ‘

Anything ue can do to show the fact that avory asract of Soviet
culture hag becn tranaformod into an izstrument.of the State, that .
tha intellectual's rele ts imortant aly co long aa he is obdedient,
that dn fact tho product of the Sovies artist would not hol’ a eandle
&> the standards ast. by follow-travelin: elreles in vestam Surope,
and that the. Soviet has corrunted the ceinetplea of equality on which
it presumes to stand is terribly immarsant. :

T am sure you are aware of all the above but I thought of it.
when I read the piece in the last igsze, and ry coment is just
anothor way of telling you what a god Job I thing you are doing.

MEM-RANDOH FOR: coter, Eastern, European Division

SUBJECT 3 Arthur Haimery younr, Ceech politieal - refugee
recomended by ir. Ortona of the ItalLan Embassy.

le Attached hereto is a letter from Egidio Ortona of the Italian
Embassy, who is receasending for our consideration the aboveenazed —
individual who is said to be the son of br. Arthur Halxner, foruerly
‘the Minister Plenipotentiary of Czechoslovakia to the Vatican. Also
attached 19 a brief curriculum vitas of Maixner.s

2, It is rather wusual for a forelgn diplomat, even though he-
be on good terma with officials of this Agency, to recomend personnel
to us for our use, end uncer the circuustances I d¢o not suppose that
there vould be acy,.vay in which you could maxe secure use of this
young man even if you ware to find him in other respects suitable. In
other words, he 1s "blow" by thé. very fact of hia having been recon-
mended .to us by a foreign diplomat,. And I am also aware of the fact
that thia would be a zood cheap way of effecting penetrations of the
Agency were we to foliow the practice of acting favorably on recan-
mendations of this character, Nevertheless, there may Le sone aspect
of this matter which would have siznificance to you or to Mr. Tian
which I do not readily perceive, and accordingly I an passing this

- onto you and to Mr. Tima with thiz thought in nind, For exaaple,

there is a bare nossibility that t:cause of the contacts and cannet~
tions of Nailmer and his f.ther, a former Czech diplomat, it might be
possible to aake uge of him (on an ara 's*length basis) in a prograa
of defector solicitation, .

3. I an also furnishing a copy of this memorandum to Hr. praden

in view of the possibility that Haixner might be of same use to Radio

Free Europe, assuming that the objection of his having beer introduced
to this Agency by Ortona covla be overcOne.

“he. In any case, I shoulc arpreciate. your sugvesting a suitable
reply to Mr. Ortona, bearing in mind tie fact. that he has-been helpful

7 us in the past and does seem to be well disposed.

1. The Crusades was: launched by General Dwight D.- Eisenhower. on a
nation wide broadcast. 4 ;
- . 2. The symbol of the Crusade, a ten ton World Proodom 3e11, inscribed
with a quotation from Linnoln, "This World under Gx! shall have a now birth
of freedom", toured tie United St:tes from coast to .euist. The "Froedoit*
Beli" was cont to Berlin to become part of a "Freedom Shrine", and tolled
‘there over an. internitional radio hookup. -

- .Je Fraodom Scrolls signed by 15,000,000 contrizutors were taken to
Berlin to become a:persanent part of the Froodom Enrine. -

_ The 1951 Crusade Canpaign was begun by tho launching cf balloons into
Caechoslovakia and Poland containing pamphlets of encouragement to the people
of these countries. Copies of the message and samples of .the balloons were
used 40 solicit contributicns in the United States. Publicity dealt largely
with Radio Frve Europe. Free magazine advertising waa widoly used for the

first time. A coast to coast telethon. was used. :

. Inadvertently, through mistakes of the staff andthe failure to adequately:
‘trief community leaders, the Crusade mistakenly implied that the Voice of

America was ineffective -- that only Radio Free turope, the privately supported
radio broadcasting station, could do an effeotive job.

MEMOKANDUM FOR: DEPUTY DIHECTOR fore NS)

SUBJECT: RFs in Turney

ACTION NECESSARY: Will you please decide or cause to be decided the

_Yollowing question: Should tne National Committee for a Free Burom

in its approach to Turkish authorities exploring the pozsthility of
creating an RFE Station in Purzey contact Turkish authorities asa
non-governmental private Comdttee or as a ClA-finaneced (tnstitution? -

. Backs¥ound

le The State Department haz asked that RFR not apnroach Turkish
authorities until VOA's attempt to get into Turkey haz peen accepted
or refused by the Turks. Prue. Department has now given the Voice of
America witil- 15 January to contlude its negotiations wita the Tur«ish

“Government. These negotiations appear ta be leading nowhere and, on

the assumption that VUA will-not vain entrance to Turcey, the Depart-
ment has authorized RFE to bevin negotiations on the areve date.

_ 22° Bob Lang, 8113 Durkze end Me. Wadsworth, former Aubassedor
to Turkey, as well ag the KE Bivision have all betr in on discussions
as to how NCF© should asoroach the Turks. Mr. Wadewsrtn counsels ~

-that all cards be laid on the teste, and he bases his reasaring on

his belie? that the Turke will “now sbout ib anyhow: end that Rre is.
likely to eet further if. it cores clean. The NE Divieion on the
other hand hopes that the approach can b2 that of a orivate committee
and that ro mention need be made of CIA's interest.

3. Your advice on the abcve auesticn will not constivute approval
of the ouilding of a Tursish station or af operations from Turkey, By
PRD decision at the Last nearing on NCTCts budect these suestions in
Turkey must be brought back here for apzreval if the auritude of the

Turks is favorable.
